his country, by doing honour to its character and extending its trade, as well as millions of his fellow-creatures, in being the means of giving them peace, liberty, and, we hope, religion. The novelty of Mr. Brooke's undertaking and its elevated objects, have so engaged us, as to leave us no room to notice that smaller portion of the work which is devoted to the voyage of the Dido. Captain Keppel has been obviously anxious to give prominence to such parts of his narrative as relate directly to Mr. Brooke, as well as to the extracts from his journal; and yet there are other topics in his volumes of exceeding interest. We, however, contemplate resuming the consideration of them in a future paper on the subject of the Eastern Archipelago. In parting, for the present, from Captain Keppel, we are bound to thank him for the high gratification which his work has afforded us. It combines, with a mass of solid information, so many of the elements of pleasing, that we hold it no venture to predict its immediate and permanent popularity. HERR NEWMAN'S PILGRIMAGE. What Lord Shrewsbury got for his money, and how he and it were soon parted. Of the prices of some commodities not mentioned in M'Culloch's Dictionary of Commerce, or Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations; and of the Pope of Rome, and how he wanted to raise the wind.

STONEYBURST, 1 THE INSURRECTIONS AND INSURGENTS OF ITALY. III. AUSTRIA AND THE RESTORATION, From 1814 to 1820 revolution and counter-revolution were simultaneously developing themselves. Although counter-revolution did not exactly fall within the designs of the Holy Alliance, the restoration of Austrian power in Italy was not, on that account, a less violent re-action against liberal sentiments. The first care of the Emperor Francis was, gradually to efface the memorials of France, and of the kingdom of Italy: Naples was occupied by the Austrian troops; the Romagna and Piedmont were placed under the surveillance of the court of Vienna. England withdrew her forces and ceased to exercise any influence. Thus all the Italian states fell under the jealous protectorate of the Austrian power. Scarcely had the king Victor-Emmanuel re-entered Piedmont, when he proclaimed, by his very first edict, that the Sicilian states were to be placed in the situation which they occupied in 1770. The almanach royal was patronized by the court; the public functionaries of 1796 were re-instated in their posts; and the places of those who had died were supplied by zealous royalists. Genoa was deprived of her liberties. In Tuscany the schools of art and the charitable pawn-offices were closed, and the old régime, together with the antiquated laws of Leopold was com pletely re-established. The party of Murat, Carbonarism, and Austrian occupation, gave to the re-action at Naples a character more strange than elsewhere. The Holy Alliance had imposed on Ferdinand a promise to respect the Buonapartists; and Ferdinand was forced to alter gradually the tendency of all the French laws, whilst he strove to weaken the influence of the Buonapartists, whom he was forced to retain in their situations. England had established, by the most vigorous measures, the constitution in Sicily: in 1816 it was suppressed, and its suppression entailed the loss of the guarantees of the ancient parliament of Sicily. Ferdi nand had hitherto encouraged the Carbonari; but Prince Canosa, who, in 1816, was set over the police of Naples, opposed to the Carbonari a sect of ultra-royalists, called the Calderari: collisions of the two parties continually took place, and massacres seemed inevitable. Happily, the courts of Vienna and St. Petersburgh demanded that Canosa should be given up; thus the threatened danger was avoided, and peace was farther guaranteed by the presence of Austrian troops. By the concordat of 1819, the court of Naples restored to the Church its power of censure, its dues, and all the sacerdotal privileges previously abrogated in the kingdom by the labours of a century. Everywhere the ultra-Catholic party crushed the liberties of the Italian states. The pontifical government returned to its retrograde tendencies. Pius IV. suppressed the French code, and revived the 84,000 laws which were in force before the revolution; the ancient ecclesiastical tribunals replaced the courts of appeal, and cardinals took the place of prefets; the monopolies of the prelates, the inquisition-all was restored to what it had been before, with the sole exception of the torture. The brigands made their appearance again in the kingdom of Naples and in the Romagna, in the train of the legitimate governments; the king of Naples had even to enter into a regular treaty with the troop led by Verdarelli (1817); in 1819 the pontiff ordered the city of Sonnino to be destroyed, and, notwithstanding, the brigands continued to defy all the efforts of the pontifical troops. The extravagances of absolutism were not long in rekindling the spirit of revolution. The violent conduct of the Church had created a fresh tendency to the doctrines of Voltaire, and the excesses of the aristocracy had revived in the middle classes their hatred of the nobility. The revolutionists, after having protested against the yoke of Napoleon, found themselves the slaves of the house of Austria; after having sought for free institutions, they had still to wait for |
